The New Forest is one of the UK's most majestic areas of natural beauty and there's no better way to view it than from the sky. Fly from historic Old Sarum Airfield and embark on a Tiger Moth flying experience that spans 80 years of military history. Feel the rush of wind from the open cockpit of the genuine 1930s Tiger Moth and soak in stunning aerial views of the Avon Valley, the lost airfields of WWII, the famous New Forest ponies and the marinas, ports and beaches of the beautiful south coast. This thrilling flying experience offers a completely novel way of sightseeing and is a must for any true fan of vintage aviation.
